Cleaning
Although, at first it may seem relatively easy for a person to clean the internal parts of his or her own piano, it is generally not recommended. The piano owner should only be responsible for maintenance of the outer case of the piano. The cleaning of a piano's internal parts should be performed by a professional piano technician because serious damage may result to the internal action, strings, dampers, sound board, or tuning pins. If done incorrectly, the repair of the resulting damage would most likely cost more than an average cleaning.
Due to their obvious physical differences, varying techniques are used to perform the cleaning process in uprights versus grands. Because these cleaning methods are different, thus requiring a varying amount of time and labor for each, there are cost differences for this service. The average cost for cleaning an upright piano is approximately $250, while the average cost for cleaning a grand piano is approximately $275.
We recommend that a piano be cleaned approximately every 7 to 10 years.
